Connecting Rod Bushing Clearance (Small End)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Nissan Pathfinder. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Measure inner diameter "C" of bushing.
  2. Measure outer diameter "Dp" of piston pin.
  3. Calculate connecting rod bushing clearance.

    Connecting rod bushing clearance = C - Dp 

    Standard: 0.005 - 0.017 mm (0.0002 - 0.0007 in) 

    Limit: 0.030 mm (0.0012 in) 

    If it exceeds the limit, replace connecting rod assembly or connecting rod bushing and/or piston set with pin.
